I'm sitting here in the darkness of my bedroom, since you-know-who has left for work and I'm still wondering what the hell happened to me to cause me to wimp out yesterday afternoon. After another particularly nasty fight Saturday with her, I had every intention of breaking up and dating other people as I'm so sick of the financial problems, ( Read more... )

Luigi's Mansion is actually a haunted house. My favorite enemy of Mario is DK. DK has lots of moves. His best attack is called kong air spin.

My son had his first baseball practice for the summer last night and it turned into something else. He was teased/taunted by his friend from school (the teasing was not horrible) but the fact that he was singled out bothered him, especially coming from a friend of his. I tried as a parent to comfort him and explain to him that I thought his ( Read more... )

I've been reading this book lately while I was waiting for Carson after school, too bad he isn't in school for the summer, LOL...will have to make time for reading at home. The title of the book is "Miriam's Song"...and it's based on a true story of a girl growing up in South Africa under apartheid and it's really made me think how fortunate and ( Read more... )

After three days of moving stuff in the Texas heat...I'm so tired. I'm grateful that most of the stuff is here in the new apartment, grateful that I have more space to feel like a home, grateful that Carson has his own room and drawing desk. But the drawback is always the moving of stuff. Ugh. I just hope the trade-off is worth it for the back ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been a while since I've had the opportunity to write on this live journal. I look back and recall how I used to keep a journal while in college, (a written one) and I'm sure if I looked into what I wrote back then, that I've come a long way since those days when I was in my 20's. I'm now approaching the age of 40 and it's amazing what a ( Read more... )

I'm bacckkkk....will try to finish this today. Regarding the subject, "house of dreams"...ever since I was a child...I can recall dreaming about owning my own house and fixing it up exactly the way I want it to look, even have actually had night dreams about a house since I was young. Maybe that relates to my fixation on home makeover shows :-) I ( Read more... )

Why is it that I have more productive thoughts in the middle of the night than when it's daytime and I'm having the TV on to "SpongeBob"?? LOL. I finished the book "In the Grip of Grace" and got some more books from the library...decided to diversify my reading since I keep favoring psychological/spiritual stuff. I have an interpreter in one of my ( Read more... )

I've been reading the book, called "Grip of Grace" written by Max Lucado while waiting for my kid after school and it's given me some good thoughts about spirituality and I really like how he writes. I was especially enjoying one particular chapter today about how Jesus emphasizes unity within the Christian community, regardless of religion... ( Read more... )

Well, it's 3 a.m. and I'm frustrated with my computer, seems like no matter what I do, I'm cursed with an Internet explorer that won't cooperate. I've already done the disk defragmenter, disk clean up, what have you...and it's still not pulling up websites I want. Technology is an amazing thing...when it works for you. When it doesn't work for you ( Read more... )
